We suppose tine democratic administration is re fered to, but while enlisted ir a cause of much merit. the attempt to control the opinion of men by force, will fail. Enough to insure the election of the democratic president again, can he depended on to endorse the administration without resorting to such unfair, and impoliiic measures. Nash vile News.
